Plumbing requirements as per NBC 2005 for Amity campus and specifically
for F2 block. Calculations and materials for pipes, pipe sizes, discharge fixture
unit, joint types, and all other design specifications that are possible from
NBC. Comparison of our design with the actual installation at Amity.
Plumbing requirements as per NBC 2005 for Amity campus is, as a general rule the
rates per capita per day may be considered minimum for domestic and non-
domestic needs that for communities with population above 100000 together with
full flushing system is 150 to 200 lphd.
 Out of the 150 to 200 litres per head per day, 45 litres per head per day may be
taken for flushing requirements and the remaining quantity for other domestic
purposes.

Type of building Consumption No. per Day,

litres
Schools:
Day schools 45 per head
Boarding school 135 r head

Materials for Pipes: Pipes may be of any of the following materials:

 cast iron, vertically cast or centrifugally(spun) cast,
 steel (internally lined or coated with bitumen, or a bituminous composition,
and out-coated, with cement concrete or mortar, where necessary),
 reinforced concrete,
 pre-stressed concrete,
 galvanized mild steel tubes,
 copper,
 brass,
 wrought iron,
 asbestos cement,
 polyethylene,
 un-plasticized PVC,
 chlorinated PVC, or
 stainless steel.
Jointing of Pipes:
1. Cast Iron Pipes: Jointing may be done by any of the following methods:
a) spigot and socket joints, or
b) flanged joints in accordance with good practice.
2. Steel Pipes:
a) Plain-ended steel pipes may be jointed by welding.
b) Electrically welded steel pipes shall be jointed in accordance with good
practice.
3. Wrought Iron and Steel Screwed Pipes: Screwed wrought iron or steel
piping maybe jointed with screwed and socketed joints. Care shall be taken
to remove any burr from the end of the pipes after screwing. A jointing
compound approved by the Authority and containing no red lead
composition shall be used. Screwed wrought iron or steel piping may also be
jointed with screwed flanges.
4. Asbestos Cement Pipes: Asbestos cement pipes may be jointed in
accordance with good practice.
5. Copper Pipes: Copper pipes shall be jointed by internal solder ring joint,
end-brazing joint or by use of compression fitting. The flux used shall be
non-toxic and the solder used shall be lead free. The use of dezincification
fittings shall be made in case of jointing of copper pipe and steel pipe.
6. Concrete Pipes: Concrete pipes shall be jointed in accordance with good
Practice.
7. Polyethylene and Unplasticized PVC Pipes: Polyethylene and
unplasticized PVC pipes shall be jointed in accordance with good practice.
Other design specifications that are possible from NBC:
a) Water Supply for Fire Fighting Purposes:
 Provision shall be made by the owner of the building for water supply
requirements for firefighting purposes within the building, depending
upon the height and occupancy of the building.
 The requirements regarding water supply in storage tanks, capacity of
fire pumps, arrangements of wet riser-cum-down comer and wet riser
installations for buildings above 15 m in height, depending upon the
occupancy use.
b) Water Supply for Other Purposes:
 Some typical uses other than domestic use and firefighting purposes are
air conditioning and air washing, swimming pools and water bodies and
gardening.
Positives:
 Intelligent placing of ducts and wet areas to facilitate easy outflow and
maintenance.
 Separation of toilet and kitchen sewerage lines for separate drain out into
respective pipelines.
 Separate water supply pipes for domestic and flushing purposes.
 Rainwater pipes are placed in appropriate corners, having maximum catchment
area, reducing number of pipes required.
 New age taps and pipe system used.
 Toilet ventilated into ducts, preventing escape of foul smell to living areas.
Negatives:
 No provision for hot water supply in bathrooms and kitchen.
 Door clearance for W
 Cs not standard.

Pipe Sizing

P
Correct pipe sizes will ensure adequate flow rates
at appliances and avoid problem caused by
over sizing and under sizing;
Over sizing will mean:
• additional and unnecessary installation costs;
• PIPE MINIMUM NOMINAL ACTUAL
• delays in obtaining hot water at outlets;
• increased heat losses from hot water
DESCRIPTION WALL PIPE SIZE GIVEN PIPE
distributing pipes. (METRES) AS/NBC (IN) SIZE
Under sizing may lead to:
• inadequate delivery from outlets and possibly
(INCHES)
no delivery at some
outlets during simultaneous use; Primary 0.259 3” 3.5”
• some variation in temperature and pressure at
outlets, especially (main) water
showers and other mixers; pipe
• some increase in noise levels.

Traps:
Traps are defined as fittings at the end of soil pipes of waste pipes to prevent
foul gases coming out of the soil pipe/wastepipe.

Traps are an integral part of a modern sanitary system, being designed to retain
a small quantity of the waste water from the discharge of fitting to which they
are attached as a wall to prevent foul air entering the building.

Classification of traps:Depending upon the shapes the traps are classified as,

1) P-Trap
2) Q-Trap
3) S-Trap

Other

1) Gully Traps
2) Nahini Traps/Floor Traps
3) Intercepting Traps
4) Grease Traps
5) Bottle Traps

P-Trap: This trap is used with Indian water closet. These are made from cast
iron or UPV sheet. This trap also has water seal and prevents entry of foul gases
to the house.

   
Q­Trap: 
This trap is used in toiled under water closet. It is almost similar to S trap and
is used in upper storey other than ground floor. 

S­Trap: 
This trap is similar to P. trap and is used for fixing water closets in toilets. 
The only difference between P­ trap S­trap is that P­trap is used for outlet 
through the wall whereas S­trap is used for outlet through the floor. 

      

Floor trap or nahini trap: 
This trap is provided in the floor to collect waste water from washbasin, 
shower, sink and bathroom etc. These are available in cast iron or UPVC 
material and have removable grating (JALI) on the top of the trap . The 
minimum depth of water seal should be 50mm. 

Gully trap: 
These are constructed outside the building to carry waste discharge from 
washbasin, sinks, bathroom etc. and are connected to the nearest building 
drain sewer so that foul gases from sewer don’t come to the house. 
  

Intercepting trap: 
This are provided at junction of a house sewer and municipal sewer for 
preventing entry of fuel gases of municipal sewer into house drainage 
system. Intercepting trap is provided in the manhole. 

Grease trap: 
This trap is a device to collect the grease contents of waste and can be 
cleaned from the surface. This is generally used in food processing unit. 

Bottle trap: 
This trap is used below washbasin and sinks to prevent entry of foul gases.
